SUMMARY:SAC Spring 2026 Conference "Fear and Loathing…in Las Vegas: A Journey of Fun and Folly in the Face of FOBO"
DESCRIPTION:Get ready to experience the exhilarating spirit of Las Vegas as its iconic zest for life fuses with an engaging exploration of deeper themes at the 2026 annual conference of the Society for the Anthropology of Consciousness! \nBeyond the Glitz\nThe “Las Vegas” themed meeting is not just about the glitz; it’s about exploring the underlying principles that make for a vibrant\, thriving\, and truly connected community. The Society for the Anthropology of Consciousness is dedicated to studying consciousness phenomena in cultures around the world. This electrifying event\, made possible by the dedication and support of our community\, aims to delve deeper into themes such as: \n\nArtificial Intelligence (AI): The conference will examine the relationship between AI and consciousness\, exploring how the development of AI challenges or deepens our understanding of ourselves. It will also consider the impact of AI on human learning and wisdom in this new era of AI knowledge.\nThe interplay of individual and collective consciousness in spaces designed for entertainment and spectacle.\nThe anthropological roots of play\, celebration\, and risk-taking across cultures\, drawing on research into how different cultures engage with these elements of human experience.\nHow to build radical inclusiveness in diverse groups\, drawing lessons from unexpected places.\nDealer’s Choice. After all\, it’s Vegas and you can talk about what you want\, whether it stays here or not!\n\nEmbrace the Unexpected\nCome ready to embrace the unexpected\, share unique perspectives\, and discover how to cultivate both joy and meaningful connection in your life and work. Join us in 2026 for a conference that promises to be both intellectually stimulating and personally enriching. \nThis meeting description was brought to you in collaboration with AI. \nRegistration & Submission Instructions\nRegister for the conference Submit a proposal  for a paper\, panel\, other presentation\, or logo \nLearn more about the conference \nBook a reduced room rate at the Palazzo (you do NOT have to book a room for the entire duration of the meeting) \nSubmission Deadline\nJanuary 31\, 2026 @ 8:00 PM Eastern Time \nAcceptance Notifications\nFebruary 10\, 2026 \nMore Information\nPlease contact Stephanie Fox\, Tiffany-Ashton Gatsby\, or John Baker
